The prince withdrew the hand he didn't even realize was reaching for that magenta snoot. He felt the urgent need to nudge him, to pull him up out of the gold by his chin so he could see just how distressed he was. Why wouldn't he just move? Skip the country! Why live in a country with a chain like The Queen's Wings at all? But his employer was a mage and if all the scrolls he'd cramped up his hands copying told him anything, he did in fact have tricks up his non-existent sleeve.
He also wasn't entirely sure how to go about learning Hanna's name. Somehow outright asking felt silly, something he might get scolded for. But he would worry about that if the two of them made it through tomorrow.
He stood and glanced at the half a haunch still left left on his plate. Suddenly, Prince Maurice wasn't the least bit hungry.
"I hope you're right...good night. Sir."
The prince took up his gloves and shuffled off back to the study. He knew he wouldn't sleep so he lit a candle and started copying the next volume of that enormous scroll.
